COMBINED SHADE-BRACKET AND CURTAIN-ROD SUPPORT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. March 26, 1907.

Application filed September 1,1906. Serial No. 333,168.

To in 1071/0772 it 'm/r/y concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES HENRY NEL- SON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Iola, in the county of VVaupaca and State of isconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Shade-Bracket and Curtain-Rod Support, of which the following is a specification.

- This invention is a combined shadebracket and curtain-rod support, and has for its object to provide an eflicient device of this kind embodying simplicity of construction, so that it can be cheaply produced.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of one of the bracket members. Fig. 2- is a plan view thereof. Figs. 3 and 4 are similar views of the other bracket member. Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6 6 of Fig. 3.

Referring specifically to the drawings, the two bracket members are indicated at 10 and 11, respectively. Each member comprises a plate 12, from one edge of which an arm 13 extends, which is formed integral with the plate and has at its outer end a seat 14 for a curtain rod or pole. The plate 12 is slitted to form a tongue 15, which is bent outwardly from the plate. The tongue 15 of the member 10 has an angular slot 16 to receive the angular end of the shade-roller, and the tongue 15 of the member 11 has a round hole 17 for the round end of said spindle. The plate 12 also has perforations 18 for screws or other fastening means, whereby the bracket members are secured to the window casing. The shade-support can be adjusted to fit the shade if the latter is not cut to the exact length by bending the tongues 15 outwardly or inwardly.

The arms 13 are ofi'set laterally from the plate 10, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 3, to bring the curtain-rod seats 14 into proper position in front of the window-casing. On the seats are upstanding pins 19, which when adjustable telescoping curtain-rods are used enter the usual openings therein and. serve to hold the rod in adjusted position.

The device herein described can be readily applied and effectively serves the purpose for which it is intended. It is made by stamping it from sheet metal, and therefore can be cheaply produced.

I claim- A combined shade-bracket and curtainrod support comprising a plate adapted to be secured to the side of a window-casing, a tongue struck up from the plate and extending parallel thereto,- said tongue having an opening to receive the shade-roller spindle, and an arm extending outwardly from the front edge of the plate, and having a curtainrod seat.

I11 testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHARLES HENRY NELSON.
